Does anyone notice the near-absence of grandstanding by this President? The time at which he announced the demise of Usama bin Laden was near midnight on Sunday in the Eastern Time Zone. It was good timing for the West Coast... but considering where the Twin Towers used to be, where the Pentagon is, and where the commandeered flights came from, such could only have been bad timing for getting the point out. Many people didn;t find out until Monday morning.
This is like saying that more people would have been able to watch coverage of the 9/11 bombings if the media had simply embargoed covering it until prime time.
